The Real Story Behind What's Happening with Home Prices

The Real Story Behind What's Happening with Home Prices

(case schiller)

If you're wondering about current home prices, you're not alone. Navigating the market can be challenging with so much information available. Buyers may be concerned about overpaying, while sellers worry about achieving their desired price.

Here’s the reality: while home price appreciation has slowed, prices are not falling. Nationally, home prices continue to rise, but at a more moderate pace compared to recent years. As the supply of homes gradually increases, there’s still not enough inventory to meet the demand, which sustains upward pressure on prices. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com, notes that the improving inventory has brought more balance to the market, helping to moderate price growth.

Looking ahead, mortgage rates are expected to decline, which could drive more buyers back into the market and, in turn, further increase prices. However, as real estate conditions vary by location, it’s essential to seek insights from a local real estate expert who can provide tailored advice specific to your area’s market dynamics.
